Christmas at Marwell…be enchanted
This event has now sold out.
Let us take you on a magical journey through Marwell Hall this Christmas to meet Santa, Mrs Claus and their attentive elves.
Let our gingerbread express whisk you to our enchanted hall where you'll step through our igloo entrance into the magical ice palace. We'll then invite you into Mrs Claus' library for storytelling, entertainment and gingerbread decorating before calling your name to meet Santa.
